On Thursday my computer went broken(by my little brother), so I had to call the little-man-of-the-computer to adjust it. He said to me: "I'll return with your pc on Friday afternoon ^ò^", but I'm still waiting for my pc now. T_TSo I had to edit with the notebook I use for university - it had not a single program for editing, and I had no more anime to use. So I had to reinstall the softwares, andmake the codecs made love not war- while waiting for some anime sources to download again. ç__çThen, the sources did not work on my software , so I reinstalled again some codecs.I solved the codec problems - but the sources were mkv, and the muxer didn't exact them. So I had to download the avi, and only when I already waited untile the 90%, I found out and solved the problem with the mkv. .__.But -once extracted the mkv, VFAPI didn't recognize the path, and I still don't ujderstand why, and I already had discarded the avi, so to take the pieces for my amv I had to cut them with virtualdub mod in a lossless or uncompressed way, and only then putting in the program. In the end I was able to edit. O_OStill my notebook is small, so the program continued having crashes and codec problems until the end. XDPlus, that day, for about 3 hours, the society of the light energy turn it down in my street,so I had to wait. XDAnd in the end - when I was about to make the final rendering -the zarxgui thing told me "unrecognized video format" at the lagarith file, and I addressed with really bad words the poor people that were in my chat list in that moment.

{ I had the instinct to close all, then opening movie maker and make an autovid in wmv. }

I did it. XD But also the rendering on movie maker crashed. XDDDDSo in the end I finished my rendering and uploaded my video, and then died lol.My video is not good, for all this things that made me waste a lot of time. .__.But I'm happy to have finished it. ^__^Now I'm waiting to be pwned by the French guys with a smile on my face. ^___^

Friday:School, Chilled out, Talked with my girlfriend, Played some drums, Drank some alcohol, Edited on valentine mep track, Talked more with girlfriend.

Saturday:Slept, Talked to my girlfriend, Watched some Japanese drama shows, Edited valentine track, took it easy, Went out with some friends, Drank some alcohol, had a video convo with girlfriend.

Sunday:Slept, drank water, drank more water, finished my valentine mep track, talked with my girlfriend, talked more with my girl.Around here, I started on my IC video, it was around 14:30 - 15:00~. After about 1 hour of editing I cleaned my room for about 2 hours, after that I had dinner with my brother and his fiancé. The time was now around 18:00 - 19:00~. At this point I had vegas open and edited and at the same time was talking to my gf. Around 20:00 - 21:00~ I put her on hold while finishing the video.I finished my video a bit late, but had talked with DN@ about it all and stuff.So all in all, I finished my video in around 6-7 hours total.

Saturday:Woke up, ripped my source, did 1:20 of my vid. spent the rest of the day making banners, playing online games and chatting on IRC.

Sunday:Woke up, spent a day with family and on IRC. More online games. Did a little work on current personal project. At about 16:00 started finishing, fixed the mistakes in first 1:20 and finished it. Exported beta, spotted few mistakes, corrected, exported, uploaded.

Saturday:After have listened to the song, I decided to play chess with my friends and to go to a birthday party and get drunk ('cause of the song)

Sunday:I thought how I would have developed the amv, I hate extremely romantic songs like that (this means I don' t like romantic animes too).. I had to improvise.. I went to bed singing "So what do you say?So what do you say?Can we turn this clock backThirteen yearsAnd relateI won't mind"

p.s.: I HATE THAT SONG p.p.s.:"Can we stay?But isn't it fate?But isn't it fate?That we spill our guts outOn this very dayI don't mind"

but how the song says "Now it's too late" and my mind has been brutally marked

Picked up the song when I got home from work, got most of the stuff I needed to out of the way, then preceded to edit the video. After running through the song more than a few times, I settled on a source and edited the entire video starting from 8 that night. Almost all of the video was done by the time I crashed around 3 in the morning (EST).

Saturday:

Woke up around 10am, checked the video to make sure that it was how I wanted it. Noted that the FTP wasn't ready, so went off to the games store around 1pm. Came back later that night and finalized it eventually (after Premiere crashed more than a few times )

FridayGot song and ate tuna while thinking about the song. Watched some more episodes of my chosen source that I had just gotten a hold of. Started editing around 3:00pm (central US time) and continued to edit until 4:00am, taking short breaks in between to clean up my house and eat. During editing, I realized that the first VOB on one of my DVDs was corrupted and I really wanted some scenes from it. So I tried ripping it using a couple of different softwares for both OS X and Windows, but had no luck. So I decided to download the R2 of it while I slept. I had edited around 1 minute this day.

SaturdayWoke up and ate breakfast with my family at 11:00AM and cleaned up the house until 1:00pm. I go to my laptop to notice that the DVD had finished downloading. I open up one of the VOBs to realize it's the wrong DVD. (Saying what happened could reveal my source so I wont say it, but OMG, how was I supposed to see that difference in the title?) So I decided to find alternative scenes to use. While editing, I say good bye to my aunt who is leaving to live overseas for a bit and continue to edit until 4:30pm.I didnt like the breakfast that my mother cooked this morning and decide that I want to grab something to eat before going to work which starts at 5:00pm. So I rush to get my uniform on and leave. I ask my father if I can take his car, but he offers me a key to my mother's car, but the only thing is that there is no house key with it and I'll have to make sure that someone is in the house before I come home from work in order to get back in. I figure that this is okay. Someone is bound to be at home when I finish work tonight. When I get into the car, I realize that I'm wearing the wrong pants, so I run back to the house to realize that I had locked the door on my way out . I wait outside for my father to get out of the bathroom and let me back in. After getting on the right pants, I still managed to be able to get some McDonald's and arrive to work on time.At work, I am asked to stay a little longer than scheduled. So I finished work at 9:00pm and call up the house to make sure that someone is home. No one is -_-. I call my sister and find out that she is studying near by with some of our friends. So I go and meet up with them for a little bit and my sister decides that she's done studying and is going to come home. I grab some KFC on the way back and start editing again at 10:40pm and continue to edit through Sunday morning.

SundayI finished my video at 6:00 am and go through the timeline to determine which clips that I slowed down need to be optical flowed in Motion. I huffy them and switch over to the OS X side of my laptop. I find out that Motion does not want to accept my huffy clips directly and so I import them into Final Cut Pro and send them to Motion through there. Motion decides that it only wants to accept one of the clips, even though they all have the same huffy codec on them . I decide to convert them to mov in Simple Movie X, but it accepts them but wont convert them into mov with the Apple Intermediate codec . I start fiddling with the mov codecs that I'm not familiar with, but they all suck and make my clips look like crap. I try to convert the clips to Apple Intermediate again and for some odd reason, it works. I import some clips into Motion and manage to optical flow one of them. Motion crashes. I reopen it and import my next clip. It started saying that it wants 20 minutes for a clip that is less than 3 seconds long. I look at the process to see that it thinks that it has to work with 900+ frames, even though there is only around 70 frames on the timeline . So I decided to just look for alternatives in the source and go back to Windows and Vegas. I fix up the slowed down clips and begin rendering an avi for zarx. I decided to sleep while this is happening and while I'm laying bed, I look at my monitor and realize that something big that I thought I took out was still there. So I cancel the render to realize that I had made a copy of the track I had deleted before and had it marked as visible. I delete it and look through the timeline to make sure that there arent any stray clips lying around. I render again and fall asleep. I magically manage to wake up a little after the render is complete. I'm so sleep deprived at this point that I cant even type the title in correctly or make the avs for zarx. After a couple of trys, I manage to make the avs and through it into Zarx. By this time it's 9:00am and I allow myself to get in a little bit of sleep before work.

I wake up from my sister and she asks me if I managed to finish. I get up and go over to see the MP4 made and watch it. Some parts of it are messed up. I fix up what I can in vegas and render a new avi while taking a quick shower. After the shower, I encoded it and started the uploaded, but I had to leave to work so I couldnt make sure that it would upload completely. I go to work really nervous about it, hoping that it uploaded properly.

An hour into my shift, I get a call from my sister saying that the I got disconnected . My manager overhears my conversation and I tell her that I had a project due during work. Thinking that it was for school, she allowed me to take my break early and go home to check on it. So I went home to upload it and make sure it wentthrough. My sister points out to me that there are some mistakes in my video and it seems off. Specifically I saw one segment in it that was epic fail. At this point, there was nothing that I could do because I had to get back to work. So I upload it and make sure it goes through.

I thought of asking the judges if I could fix it, but by the time I had gotten home, 3 hours had passed since the deadline and so I figured it was too late .

FridayCame home from school. I wanted to start editing as soon as I got home knowing the songs would be up, but my aunt was using the computer. She was on for a good 30 minutes delaying me for a while. When she got off, got my song, I dug it and started editing. I was thinking I would never finish. I talked to exsphere and he told me he already had 20 seconds. Talked to my best friend about plans for later, while editing some more. I had 20-something seconds by the time my mom came home, which was an hour later which was 4:00. I talked to nevada11 and started making fun of him because he was running into several issues. I gave him a certain anime and laughed at him some more. Took a 3 hour break. I set plans with my friends to go ice-skating at 8:30 and I stopped editing at 7:30. I got there and saw that the girl I like had a fake lip ring. We got into a little altercation with other teenagers. My mom picked me up at 10:50, and got home at 11:10 or so. I started editing again but not for long. By the time I finished, I had 30-35 seconds. I showed it to little atari, but turned out I had some glitches while encoding. I had the mentality that I would fix it when I finished it.

SaturdayI woke up, not feeling like editing. Went downstairs for breakfast and watched a little television while laying on my bed. Around 11:00 when my sister went for physical therapy, I started editing. I began to half-ass it thinking I didn't have much time. I stopped editing around 1:00 and had 1 minute. I talked to little atari about fps. Tried to make new plans with my friends, but it was Valentines day and everyplace was going to be hectic, so we decided not to do anything. I didn't edit for the rest of the day until around 7:30.Talked to andrew[sharinganraikari] about his progress along with nevada. I gave nevada a script for the anime I gave him. They both were kind of late into editing their video. Edited from there until 1:00 A.M which turns into sunday.

SundayBegan exporting, but I exported it 60 fps, thinking it would come out okay but it took about 45 minutes and it turned out like crap. Little atari explained fps to me a little bit more, and i render 29.97. I was planning to show her the final product, but she was busy exporting something for her teacher. Turns out when I exported it, I applied a certain effect rather badly on almost all the clips. So I had to go back and adjust them all over again. This was around 2:30 A.M. Was still talking to nevada and andrew, and sometimes here and there to exsphere. I exported again and this time little atari was done, but I was encoding. I had a little bit of trouble de-interlacing, but she helped me. I made an xvid and sent it to her. Gave me some crit, but didn't adjust them because I was lazy, stressed, tired, and mad. She went off, and I started making my mp4 while tlaking to nevada and andrew, and playing medal of honor: hero. The encoding finished around 3:00 and I uploaded it to the server.

Friday--Got home around 6ish, tiring day all around, got my song. Didn't do much after besides get my anime source from vax but didnt have any inspiration to edit

Saturday--I hate editing in the morning, makes me nervous as odd as it sounds o-O. I postponed it later, I edited some of my audio and prepared my anime source. after that i got back home around 9pmish i believe and took me about 30 minutes to cut my first scence choice, another 30 minute to think of my next scence choice, another hour to make my second cut, and it was a really slow process, distracted as always.

Sunday--From 12 am to 3-4amish able to finish. I went to sleep tired as fuck.
